The correct answer is D.

Bhadravati (Karnataka), Salem (Tamil Nadu), and Vishakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) are well-known centres for the iron and steel industry in India. Bhadravati hosts Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel Limited (VISL), Salem has the Salem Steel Plant (a unit of SAIL), and Vishakhapatnam has the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (RINL). Renukoot (Uttar Pradesh), on the other hand, is primarily known for the Hindalco aluminium plant, which is part of the Aditya Birla Group, and is a major centre for aluminium production, not iron and steel.

Major integrated steel plants in India are located in places like Jamshedpur, Rourkela, Durgapur, Bokaro, Bhilai, Salem, Vishakhapatnam, and Bhadravati. The location of these plants is often influenced by the availability of raw materials (iron ore, coal, limestone), water, labour, and proximity to markets or ports.
